Blizzard Black Pearl 88 Reviews:
Great Ski and Great Service
Powder 7 mounted my skis and shipped them perfectly and quickly. The Black Pearls and Marker combination look great, feel better, and are the lightest ski set I've ever had. Thanks Powder 7.

This Ski Is A Staff Favorite:
Read all of our Blizzard Black Pearl 88 staff reviewsI had several days on the Black Pearl 88s and I loved them. I would say I am a solid intermediate skier (advancing) and these skis made me feel extremely confident all around. They are fun to carve on, they make you feel like you can rip down the groomers and bumps, and felt really stable all around. I have tried other skis with metal in them that felt a little heavy for me, but these skis felt lively and quick. I took them in bumps, trees, and on groomers and had a blast the whole time. The 88s excel on the frontside, but the Black Pearl comes in wider options if you're looking for something with a little more range all around the mountain.
By: CallieThe Blizzard Black Pearl 88 shines as a daily driver. If you want something that's stable and maneuverable in basically every kind of condition, this ski really hits it home. I tried this on a day when I had zero energy left and had a blast with little to no effort. I also skied this ski when I was ready to blast, and I really took off. I think this ski brings the maneuverability of a light ski to the stableness of a heavy damp ski, and its own personality with a cute topsheet. Would definitely recommend if you like to carve down a groomer super fast but like to have some adventures into the softer snow, bumps and trees sometimes too.
By: Quinn MBlizzard's Black Pearl 88 is one of the all time best selling skis, and for good reason. This ski has managed to achieve the unachievable, being a master of all trades. It carves, it's quick in bumps and trees, all without feeling heavy. It's 88 mm underfoot is skinny enough for mountains out east, but the 128 mm shovel means that you can still achieve that floaty feel in soft snow. Gone are the days of specializing, get you a ski that can do everything and look good doing it.

By: Alex2024-2025 Blizzard Black Pearl 88 Review
Still the boss. When I started at the shop four years ago, I was told the Black Pearl held the crown as one of the most popular women's skis. It was something I could safely recommend to female skiers looking for a quick, fun, and supportive ski that wouldn't beat them up to much. As someone who likes heavier skis, I wasn't sure what that meant for me. But when I took a few laps on the Black Pearl, it all started to click. A few years went by without much change, and I felt something might be brewing in Blizzard's R&D department this seaon. Blizzard delivered—a whole new ... Continue Reading
Our Take On The 2026 Blizzard Black Pearl 88:
She's the queen bee, the boss lady, and the cool mom all wrapped into one. The Blizzard Black Pearl 88 has been the highlight of Blizzard's women's specific catalog for several years. So, what makes this ski so very special? Simply put, the Black Pearl 88 blends stable performance with a lively ride that just makes skiing fun. Is that too much to ask for? For Blizzard, certainly not.
The Blizzard Black Pearl 88 uses Blizzard's Trueblend wood core, which concentrates heavier and stiffer wood underfoot for stability, with softer flexing woods towards the tips and tails for easier turn initiation and a more forgiving ride. This design tech gives you confidence underfoot for edge control and dealing with firm snow conditions, with more forgiving ends for exploring tighter terrain. For the 24/25 season, Blizzard dove into developing modern updates to the series, without losing the Black Pearl DNA that makes so many skiers swoon. Blizzard adds a unique titanal construction, with a single sheet of metal split into two layers. The Black Pearl never had metal before, and this update balances adding extra stability at speed and a more damp ride with a less torsionally rigid option compared to full-width metal. The new Black Pearl raises the ceiling for lady shredders, while still being an accessible model for women progressing everywhere on the mountain.
